Apparently Cotton has had enough with this GITMO as “recruiting propaganda” nonsense.
Fired up, and well done.
WASHINGTON DC – Leading members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) are lining up to skip a coming speech by the prime minister of Israel.
Reps. John Lewis (D-Ga.), the civil rights icon, and G.K. Butterfield (D-N.C.), the chairman of the CBC, said they won’t attend Benjamin Netanyahu’s March 3 speech before Congress to protest Speaker John Boehner’s (R-Ohio) decision to invite the prime minister without first consulting President Obama, according to The Associated Press.
“I think it’s an affront to the president and the State Department what the speaker did,” Lewis told the AP. (more…)
What the heck is President Obama trying to say here?
Good grief, did CAIR type this speech for his teleprompter? *Whiskey* – *Tango* – *Foxtrot*
…”Humanity has been grappling with these questions throughout human history. Unless we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place. Remember that during the Crusades and Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. And our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ.”…
Is he actually saying modern Christians are just like ISIS?
A 14-year old St. Charles boy who spent 15 minutes under water after falling through the ice of Lake Ste. Louise has made a recovery no one can explain.
It’s a recovery so complete, our Kay Quinn spoke on-camera to young John Smith about his near-drowning, and his amazing story of survival.
Three 14-year-old boys fell through the ice on Martin Luther King Day.
When rescuers arrived, one was almost out of the water, another was holding onto the ice and one couldn’t be found.
Eighth grader John Smith is doing something doctors never believed would be possible.
“I don’t remember much about it to be honest, but I do remember the tubes,” says Smith.
He is walking and talking, here with his pastor Jason Noble by his side. And trying to make sense of how he’s not just alive, but thriving after being under water for 15 minutes.

Are the Democrats limiting themselves to one candidate who is rapidly aging? Compared to the large GOP field, could this be a cakewalk?
Quite a significant difference from President Obama’s strongly worded letters....
However unfortunate the horrifying origin, this is actually a very fortuitous opportunity for King Abdullah (pictured middle and below) to go full wolverine against ISIS. Anyone who follows Mid-East events well know the next target of ISIS was going to be Jordan, it is merely a matter of time.
The question of ISIS attacking Jordan is not “if”, but rather “when”, and ISIS has the full support of Turkey’s Erdogan toward that end.
We had predicted ISIS to launch cross border attacks against Jordan within the next year, and we are absolutely certain President Obama would not lift a finger to assist. The only military support Jordan could expect would be from Egypt who has vowed to assist if Jordan was attacked. That pledge from Egypt is part of the reason ISIS has now expanded its operations into Libya and the Sinai region.
ISIS leadership know they need several front’s to keep Egypt occupied hence the recent alignment with Hamas, The Muslim Brotherhood and Ansar Beit al-Maqdis. King Abdullah knows the window of opportunity to launch attacks against ISIS -and not incur problems from tenuous extremist internal political issues- is right now.
(Reuters) – Jordan’s King Abdullah vowed a “relentless” war against Islamic State on their own territory on Wednesday in response to a video published by the hard-line group showing a captured Jordanian air force pilot being burned alive in a cage.
Jordan hanged two Iraqi jihadists, one a woman, on Wednesday and vowed to intensify military action against Islamic State.
“We are waging this war to protect our faith, our values and human principles and our war for their sake will be relentless and will hit them in their own ground,” state television quoted the king as saying during a security meeting. (more…)
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †
After you read the media report of Brian Williams lying, and his admission, it’s important to watch the video of how he made the claim. This is NOT some simple case of “misremembering”…. This is intentional and deceptive lying. [Make Sure You Watch The Video]
NEW YORK – NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams admitted Wednesday he was not aboard a helicopter hit and forced down by RPG fire during the invasion of Iraq in 2003, a false claim that has been repeated by the network for years.
Williams repeated the claim Friday during NBC’s coverage of a public tribute at a New York Rangers hockey game for a retired soldier that had provided ground security for the grounded helicopters, a game to which Williams accompanied him. In an interview with Stars and Stripes, he said he had misremembered the events and was sorry.
The admission came after crew members on the 159th Aviation Regiment’s Chinook that was hit by two rockets and small arms fire told Stars and Stripes that the NBC anchor was nowhere near that aircraft or two other Chinooks flying in the formation that took fire. Williams arrived in the area about an hour later on another helicopter after the other three had made an emergency landing, the crew members said. (more…)
